THE SCRIPT
Using the original novel, Chella Anderson has adapted the words of Mary Shelley, attempting to preserve much of the original, incredibly beautiful language,
The script is a brand new adaptation, with excerpts from The Journals of Mary Shelley 1814-1844 by Mary Shelley and quotes from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft.
THE CONCEPT
The story of Frankenstein is well known, and will be explored with a LGBTQIA+ lens - with Victor Frankenstein being played as a queer person who struggles to create the ideal being while wrestling with their own identity.
In this show, we hope to explore self-creation, the societal costs of living authentically, and the personal costs of living unauthentically.
